A Resting Herd
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Cornelis de Visscher II, a prominent Dutch artist of the 17th century, also known as the Dutch Golden Age. This stunning print, dated n.d., showcases the serene beauty of rural life during this period. The image features a herd of cows and oxen peacefully resting in a lush, green pasture. Two men, dressed in traditional rural attire, are seen tending to the animals, with a dog at their side. The scene is filled with a sense of tranquility, as the herd appears to be at ease, with their heavy breaths visible in the crisp air. The background of the print is adorned with trees and plants, adding to the natural beauty of the scene. The use of ivory laid paper enhances the overall effect, making the image appear even more authentic and timeless. This print is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the Low Countries during the 17th century. It also highlights the importance of livestock farming in rural areas, which was a significant aspect of life during this period. The concept of regionalism is also evident in the image, as it captures the unique character and charm of rural life in the Netherlands. The two men in the image, with their calm demeanor and focused expression, add a human element to the scene, making it even more engaging for the viewer. The use of contrasting textures, from the rough, furry coats of the animals to the smooth, glossy leaves of the trees, adds depth and dimension to the print. Overall, "A Resting Herd" is a beautiful and evocative work of art that transports us to a simpler time, showcasing the harmony between people, animals, and nature during the Dutch Golden Age. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of agriculture, art, or rural life, and is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
